YouTube Influencer Spending A Full Month Locked In A Dark Room

A YouTube influencer is spending a full month locked in a dark room. No, it's not Aaron Rodgers.

People really will do anything in an attempt to go viral online these days. There was the woman who ran a marathon on a treadmill at Taco Bell, the woman who ate pig feed for a week, and now we have a YouTube influencer who is spending a full month locked in a dark room. You might remember Aaron Rodgers famously went viral for his stay in the dark a couple years ago. Now, this guy is giving it a shot for an entire month. That can't be healthy for you, right?

People need human interaction. We need social activities otherwise we'll drive ourselves crazy sitting alone with our thoughts for too long. Haven't you heard stories about inmates in solitary confinement? I don't think anybody hears about those stories and thinks, "Man, that sounds super relaxing and I wish I could have that." Well, nobody should think that. It appears that this YouTube influencer might have actually had that realization when he decided he was going to try to spend a full month inside a dark room.

The 19-year-old YouTuber named Norme is trying to break a world record by locking himself in a room for a full month without any light. He went in on October 16th which means he's due to come out! While it's an impressive feat to accomplish, there's no way it can be good for you and it has to create several problems for his physical and mental health. Of course, this isn't the first time he's pulled a stunt like this. He actually got booted from YouTube and Twitch a few months ago for another endurance stunt where he didn't sleep for 12 days, per USA Today! Again, not a great idea! That's definitely not healthy and can have some serious side effects. Seriously, people will do anything these days for attention, it's crazy!

You can see a video of a livestream Norme shared on YouTube below. Does this sound like something you'd be interested in trying? A full night in the dark is one thing, you can get great sleep and wake up fully refreshed. However, an entire month? That's a different story.

That does not seem like it would be a good time. Certainly, there are better ways to go about getting attention and views online. Maybe try being funny? Try making some noteworthy content that doesn't risk your health.

April Fool's Day is almost here and we're celebrating with the best celebrity pranks! Sure, we don't care for April Fool's Day very much around here at Dave & Chuck "The Freak." It's not our sense of humor--but there have been some pranks executed that we can appreciate.

Here are some of the funniest celebrity pranks we've seen. Again, don't expect any from us!

There are no shortage of prank programming on TV and the internet. The art of the prank is as old as time; however, it does seem to be evolving.

Growing up, we had Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd on MTV. For many of us that was our introduction to pranks. Some of the biggest celebrities were pranked in hilarious fashion on that show. You had Justin Timberlake (we'll get to that later), Shaq, Kanye West, and more all getting pranked on camera. It was a fantastic show. The remake didn't quite live up to the original.

Now, The Impractical Jokers are incredibly popular. They do different kinds of pranks than we saw on shows like Punk'd. Instead of messing with celebrities, they mess with strangers and it's one of the funniest shows currently airing on TV. Personally, I'm a huge fan.

Pranks are a big part of Late Night TV, as well. We've seen all of the hosts execute pranks. Jimmy Kimmel definitely does a lot and James Corden had some of the best I've seen, as well.

Of course, pranks aren't always funny. You have to know your audience and there should be an agreed upon set of rules. Making a friend cry might sound funny at the time, but it can be traumatic. That's why many people dread April Fool's Day. Sometimes, you might want to leave stuff like that to the professionals. Not everyone is cut out to be Ashton Kutcher, as much as I would love that face on mine. I mean, I'd love to have his face.

Anyways, here are 5 of the most unforgettable celebrity pranks!

I admit, I was never the biggest James Corden fan. However, this is one of the best things he ever did. It's truly hilarious. It's such a well-executed prank. David Beckham is receiving a gift, so he can't be mean about it...but at the same time he has to say something! He's put in such an awkward moment and hilarity ensues.

Speaking of James Corden, he may be known for the pranks he pulled but sometimes the pranker becomes the prankee! Katie Couric got him good on this one. I love the way he panics. Good on Katie. He had this coming.

How could you not love Jennifer Aniston? She's friendly, adorable, and an icon. She's also hilarious and a good sport. She's put in an awkward situation with this interview and comes out on top. I love her.

John Krasinski and Jimmy Kimmel had some funny Prank Wars. The pair dished out prank after prank. However, this one stands above the rest. All of them are great, but I always found this one funny. Check out the whole collection!

Countless celebrities were pranked on Punk'd. However, one stands above all the rest. Unfortunately, that's Justin Timberlake. He was pranked so badly he was brought to tears...on national television. I'm honestly surprised he signed the release waiver! It goes to show he's a good sport. He comes off more likable in the end and more relatable. That's tough for one of the biggest celebrities in the world! Especially at that time! It's one of the best celebrity pranks ever.
